Description

l PC-5861 TUR~INE RLADE SUPERALLOY II

~ The present invention is dlrected to metallic alloy bodies especiallv suitable for use as structures in hot sections of an industrial ~as turbine (IGT) and more particularly to nickel-base alloy bodtes sultable for such usage.

BACKGRO~ND AND PROBEEM

A modern, advanced desi~n industrial gas turbine (IGT) has hot sta~e blades and vanes which are re~uired to perform for llves of 2 to 5 x 10 up to lO hours, e.~. at least ahout 30,000 hours in a corrodln~
envlronment resu]tln~ from the combustlon of relativelY low Rra~e fuel~
and, in the case of blades, under hlgh stress. Na~urally, in order to increase efficlenc~, lt i8 deslred to operate such IGT blades and vanes at the h~hest pr~ctical operatlng temperatures consistent with achievlng the desi~n life-tlmes. When considering operatln~ temperatures, it is necessary to take into account not onlv the hl~he~t temperature to wh~ch R turbine blade is exposed, but also a ranRe of temperatures below that hl~hes~ temperature. Fven at steadY-state operatlon, a turbine blade wlll experlence a variety of temperatures alon~ its lengtll from root to ~lp and across lt~ width from leadln~ to trailing ed~e.

. :. - ..
.,,., :- . '
2 PC-5861 Over ~he lon~ de6ign lives of IGT blades and vnnes, corrcsion resl~tance ~nd oxl~ation resl~tance become more lmportant f~ctors than they are ln the well-developed field of alrcraft ~a~ turblne (AGT~
allovs. Althou~h in nelther the c~se of AGT nor IGT turbine blades or vanes would lt be AdvisAble to selec~ sn oxidation or corrosion prone alloy, the longer ~by an order of ma~nitude) time exposure of IGT compo-nents to a more corroding atmosphere make oxldation and eorrosion reslst-ance very import~ne features of IGT alloY structures. IGT alloy structure~ fiUCh as hot sta~e blades and vanes can be coated with conventlonal coatings to enhance oxidation and corrosion resistance but these coatings are fiub~ect to cracklng, spalling and the like. Over the long desl~n llves of IGT components, it ls ~ore likelv that coating failures will occur in compari~on to such failures with AGT coated coTnponents used for shorter time periods. Thus, even if coated, an IGT
alloy structure used in the hot stage of an IGT mus~ have the best oxidation and corrosion resistance obtainable commensurate with other required propertles and characterlstics.
In desi~nin~ alloy structures for IGT turbine blade~ lt is natural to investlgate nickel-base alloys which are used conventionallv ln AGT turbine blades. Even the strongest conventional, y strengthened nicke] base alloys rapidly lose stren~th at temperatures above about 900C (see Fi~ure 2 of U.S. Patent No. 4~386~976)o It ls dlsclosed ln U.S. Patent No. 49386~976 however that nlckel-base alloys co~bining Y
stren~thenlnR and ~trengthenln~ bY a uniform dlspersion of microflne refractorv oxldlc particles can provlde adequate mechanical properties in the temperature ranRe of 750C up to 1100. However, the alloys dl~closed in U.S. Patene No. 4,306,976 are deemed to have inadequate oxldatlon and corroslon reslstance for use ln advsnced deslgn IGTs, It is also known, for example, from U.S. Patent No. 4~039~330 th8t Y
strengthened nickel-ba~e allovs containin~ ln the vlclnlty of 2l to 24 weiRht percent chromium along wlth some aluminum have excellent corrosion and oxldatlon resistance, of the character needed for IGT usage. At very hi~h temperatures, e.g. over 1000C, the oxld~tlon reslstance of allovs as disclo.~ed in U.S. Patent No. 4~039~330 tends to fall off. ~trength at 35 temperatures in excess of gnooc of the allovs dlsclosed ln U.S. Patent No. 4~039~330~ as wlth 811 Y strengthened nickel-base Alloys ls _ inadequate for components of advanced desi~n I~T~.
3 PC-5861 From the back~round ln the immedlately preceding paragraph one mlght be eempted to declare that the solution to providing turbine blades for ~dvanced design IGTs i~ obvlous. Either increase the chromium and/or alumlnum content of Y and dlsperslon strengthened alloys dl~closed in 5 U.S. Patent No. 4,386>976 or add disperslon strengthenlng to the alloys dl~closed in U.S. Patent No. 4,039,330. These appealing, seemingly.
lo~ical 601utions to the existin~ problem are overly slmplistic.
The flrst possibtlity i.e., increasing the chromlum and/or the aluminum content of a known Y and disperslon stren~thened alloy, has two difficulties. Increasln~ either chromlum or aluminum can tend to make a nickel-base nlloy sigma prone. Increase of chromium dlrectly dilutes the nickel content of the alloy matrix remainlng after y phase precipitation. Increasin~ the aluminum content increases the amount of y phase (Ni3Al-Ti) whlch can form in the nickel-base alloy a~ain dilutlng the m~trix with respect to nickel. Detrimental acicular sigma phase t~nds to form in nickel-base allovs having low nickel matrix contents after intermedlate temperature (e.g., 800C) exposure resultlng in low alloy ductility. Because the exlstence of Y phase is essential to component strength at temperatures Up to about 900C, it is necessary to carefully control allov modlficatlon to avold phase instability over the lon~ tenn usage characterlstlc of IGTs where a minimum acceptable ductility is essential. From another polnt of view, indlscriminate allov modiflcation especially in the realm of increasing aluminum and/or chromlum contents presents a dlfflculty in providlng the component mlcrostructure essentia] to stren~th of dlspersion stren~thened alloys at hl~h temperature. Referrin~ a~ain to U.S. Patent No. 4,386,976 Co]umn 1, llne 58 et seq~, lt 1~ disclosed tha~ ODS ~oxlde dispersion stren~thened) allovs mu~t be capable of developing a coarse, elonRated ~rain structure ln order to obtaln ~ood elevated temperature properties thereln. This coarfie, elongated grain structure is developed by directlona], secondary recrvstalllzation at a temperflture above the y solw s temperature and helow the lnclp~ent melting temperature of the alloY (~ee Column fi, line 58 et fieq. of the U.S. Patent No. 4,386,976) or some ~emperature c~o~e to the lnclpient meltln~ temperature. If Y phase ls not soluttoned, the secondary crystallization will not proceed. If the inciplent meltlng temperature of the alloy ig exceeded the oxlde dl~persion wlll be detrlmentally afEected. For practical productlon, the interval between . .

~S~
4 PC-586l the Y ~olvus temperature snd the temperature of inclplent meltlng must be at lea6t aboue 10 and, more sdvantageously, At least about 20 in celslus units. Because of the ~omplexity of modern ~ strengthened nlloy compositlons and the complex interactlons among the alloyin~ elements, ther~ is no way of predicting the secondary recrystallizatlon lnterval which is a slne qua non for obtalning the high temperature strength in ODS alloys.
The ~ame difficulty applles to the possible idea of providing o~lde dispersion strengthening to a known, high strength y oxldation and corrosion-reslstant alloy. There ls no wav of predicting whether nor not the theoretical ODS-y strengthened alloy can be made on a commercial basis.
The foregoinR makes lt clear ehat the provision of alloy components suitable for hot stage advanced design IGT usage is a problem that requires critical metallurgical balancing to at least provlde an adequate window for thermal treatment necessary for practical production of such components. In addition, the alloy composition must be capable of undergoing the practlcal mechanical and thermomechanical processing required to reach the stage of directional recrystallization.
The present invention provides alloy bodles suitable for use in advance design IGTs which can be produced in a practical manner.

BRI~F DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The figure is a photograph showing the grain ~tructure of an allov bodv of the invention.

SUMMARY O~ THE INVENTInN

The present invention comtemplates an alloy bodv especiallv useful as a component in hot stages of lndustrial ~as turbines having improved resistance to lon~ term stress at temperatures in the range 800 to 11()~C combined with enhanced o~idation and corrosion resistance. The a]]ov body compri~es at le~st in part, an aggregation of elongated, essentially parallel metallic crystals having graln boundaries there-between wherein the average grain aspect ratlo of said ~etallic crystals is at least about 7. These metallic crystals (1) have a Y phase dl~persed therein ~e a tempera~ure lower than about 1180C and (2) have dispersed therethrough particles in the Rlze range of about 5 to 500 nanometers ln malor d-lmension of an oxidlc phase fftable at temperatures below at least 1100C. The metallic crystal incluslve of dl~persed materlal and grai~ boundary materlal cons~sts essentlally in welght percent of about 18 to 25~ chro~ium, about 5.5 to 9~ aluminum~ up to, i.e. 0 to about 1Z titanium wlth the provlso that the sum of the percentages of aluminum and tltanium is no greater than 9, up to about 4.5Z molYbdenum, about 3 to ~% tungsten, up to about 0.05%, e.~. about 0.005 to 0.05Z boron, up to about 0~5X zlrconlum, about 0.4 to lZ
yttrlum, about 0.4 to about 1~ oxygen, up to about 0.2% carbon, up to about 1~ or 2~ iron, up to about 0.3 or 0.5% nitrogen, up to about 4%
tantalum, up to about 2~ nioblum (~ith the provlso that tantalum, if any, and niobium, if any~ are present in the alloy only when the aluminum content ls below about 7Z), up to about 10% cobalt, up to about 2 hafniu~, up to about 4~ rhenium (in replacement of all or part of molybdenum and/or tungsten) the balance except for impurities and ~ncidental elements being nickel. In these alloy bodies, substantially a~l of the yttrium and a part of the aluminum exist as oxides formlng the princlpal part of the dlspersed stable oxidic phase. Depending upon the exact conditions of manufacture and use, the dispersed oxidic phase can comprise ~ttria and alumina or alumina ~ yttria mixed oxides such as 2 3 ~ 3 2 3 . 23 or 5Al203 . 3Y203 and comprises about 2 5 to about 4 volume percent of the metallic crystals.
Generally speakingg the alloy bodv of the present invention is produced bv mechanically alloving powdered elemental or master allov constituents a]on~ with oxidic yttrium in an attritor or a horizontal ball mil] until substantial saturation hardness 1s obtalned along with thorough lnterworkln~ of thc attrlted metals one wlthin another and effectlve inclusion of the oxide containlng yttrlum withln attrited allov partlcles to provide homo~eneitY. For best results, the milling charge should include powder of an omnibus master allo~, l.e. an alloy contalning all non-oxide alloying ingredien~s in proper proportlon except being poor in nickel or nickel and cobalt. This omnibus ma~ster allov powder is produced bv melting and atomization, e.g. gas atomlzation. The mill charge consists of the omnibus master alloy9 yttria or oxidic _, yttrium nnd approprlate amounts of nlckel, nlckel and cobalt or nickel-cobalt alloy powder.
The mllled powder ls then screened, blended and packed into mlld steel ~xtrusion cans which ~re sealed and may be evacuated. The sealed cans ~re ehen heated to about 1000C to 1200C and hot extruded at an exeruslon ratio of at lesst about 5 using a relatively high strain rate.
After extrusion or equlvalent hot compactlon, the thus processed mechanlcally alloyed material can be hot worked, especlally dlrectionally hot worked by rollln~ or the llke. Thls hot working should be carrled out rapldly In order to preserYe ln the r~etal a slRnlficant fraction of the straln energy induced bY the initlal extrusion or other hot compaction. Once thls ls done, the alloy body of the invention is processed by any suitable means, e.~., zone annealing, to provide coarse elongated ~rains in the body ha~ln~ an average grain aspect ratio (GAR) O~ at-least 7. If required, the thus produced allcy body can be given a solution treatment and a subsequent aglng heat treatment to precipitate Y
phase ln addition to that amount of Y phase forminR on cooling rom grain coarsening temperatures. It has been found that for alloys having a composition within the range as disclosed hereinbefore, the overall graln coarsening interval, l.e., T~ (Temperature of incipient melting) -T , (y' solvus temperatnre) is at least about 20 in Celsius units thereby providlng an adequate processing window for cornmercial production of alloy bodles having coarse elon~ated grains of high GAR. For alloy bodies of the present invention, solution treatment can be for 1 to 20 hours at 1050 to 1300C. Satisf~ctorv a~ing treatments lnvolve holdlng the allov body at a temperature in the ran~e of 600 to 950C for l to 24 hours. An interrnedlate aginR comprlslng holding the alloy body for l to 16 hours in the rar-Re of 800 to l150C lnterposed hetween the solution trestment and the final aRing treatment can be advancaReous.

In each case the powder was processed to homogeneity. Each powder batch was ficreened to remove particles exceedlng 12 mesh, cone blended two hours and packed in~o mlld steel extruslon cans whlch were evacuated and sealed. Up to four extrusion cans were prepared for each compositlon. The cans were heated in the range (1000C to 1200C) and extruded lnto bar at an extruslon ratlo of about 7. Extrusion was performed on 750 ton press at about 35%
throttle setting. The extruded bar material was sub~ected to hot rolling at temperatures from about 12nOC to about 1300C and at total reductlons up to a~out 60Z (pass reductions of about 20%) with no difficu]tles belng encountered.

Those skllled in the art will appreclate that alloy bodies of the present invention can include volumes in ~hich the grain structure can deviate from the coarse elon~ated structure depicted in the drawing provided that such volumes are not requlred to possess extreme mechanical characteristics at very high temperatures.

In view of the total aluminum and chromium contents of the alloy bodie~ of the invention, it is expected that these alloY bodies will constitute compatible substrates for both diffused aluminide coatin~s and for various high aluminum, hi~h chromium deposited coatln~s, e.~
